Every date is worked out in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Both dates are included in the count. A Monday to the following Friday, with an ordinary weekend, is ten working days.

Days off each week

Public holidays and other days off

One date per line, written as year, month, day. There is no built in list of public holidays here, and that is on purpose: they differ by country, by region and by year, and a list that is quietly out of date is worse than no list.

Ten Working Days Is Not Always Two Weeks

It is two weeks only in a week with no holiday in it.

When a bank, a courier or a passport office says ten working days, they mean ten days on which they are open. In an ordinary fortnight that is two weeks. Put one public holiday in the middle and it becomes sixteen calendar days. Put a Christmas week in the middle and it can be three weeks. The reason this page makes you type in your own days off is that nothing else can know which ones apply to you.

Ten working days from	Days off in the way	Lands on	Calendar days
Mon 5 Jan 2026	an ordinary weekend only	Mon 19 Jan	14
Mon 21 Dec 2026	25 and 28 December, 1 January	Thu 7 Jan 2027	17
Mon 5 Jan 2026	a four day week, Friday off as well	Wed 21 Jan	16

None of those land on a Friday, and that surprises people. It is because the day you start on is not counted: ten working days from Monday the 5th means the next ten days the office is open, and the tenth of those is Monday the 19th. Ask the other question, how many working days are there from Monday the 5th to Friday the 16th, and the answer is ten as well, because there you are measuring a period and both ends belong in it. Two questions, two rules, and this page uses a different mode for each.

The weekend is not Saturday and Sunday everywhere. Much of the Middle East works Sunday to Thursday. Nepal takes only Saturday. Plenty of shops and workshops open on Saturday morning. The days off here are checkboxes for that reason, not a fixed rule.

A holiday that falls on a Sunday is only removed once. It has already been taken out as a day off, so counting it again would quietly shorten your week. The table under the answer shows exactly which days were removed and why.

How to Use the Working Days Calculator

Four steps, and the third one is the one that changes the answer most.

Choose whether you are counting or adding Days between counts the working days in a range, with both end dates included. Add working days starts from a date and finds where a given number of working days lands, without counting the day you started on.

Tick the days you are closed each week Saturday and Sunday are ticked to begin with because that is the most common week, but nothing here treats that as a rule. Untick them, tick Friday instead, or leave everything unticked for a seven day operation.

Paste in the public holidays that apply to you One date per line, or use the small date box and the Add button. There is no built in holiday list, on purpose: holidays differ by country, by region and by year, and a stale list gives wrong answers that look right.

Read the list of days it removed Under the answer is every day that did not count, with the reason. A holiday that already fell on a day off is shown as such and removed only once, which is the mistake most hand counts make.

What to Know Before You Start

Including the things this tool cannot do.

Ten working days is not always two weeks. It is two weeks in a week with nothing in it. Add one public holiday and it becomes sixteen calendar days. Over Christmas it can be three weeks. That is why the holidays box exists.

There is no built in holiday list, deliberately. Public holidays differ by country, by region, and move from year to year. A list that is quietly a year out of date produces a wrong answer that looks completely trustworthy, which is worse than asking you to supply your own.

The weekend is a choice here. Much of the Middle East works Sunday to Thursday, Nepal takes only Saturday, and many workshops open on Saturday morning. Tick whichever days you are actually closed.

The two modes count the starting day differently. Days between includes both dates, because you are measuring a period. Add working days does not count the day you start on, because that is what a bank or a courier means. Both rules are shown in the working.

A holiday on a Sunday is removed once, not twice. It has already been taken out as a day off. Counting it again quietly shortens the week, and it is one of the most common errors in a hand count or a spreadsheet formula.

Half days and shift patterns are not handled. A day either counts or it does not. If your Saturday is a half day, or your team works four longer days, this tool cannot express that. The hours calculator on this site is the better fit for that kind of counting.

About the Working Days Calculator

A working days calculator has to answer a question that depends on facts it cannot know. Which days are you closed? Which holidays apply where you are? Those answers change from one country to the next and from one year to the next, so this page asks for them rather than guessing. The weekend is a set of checkboxes, and the holidays are a box you paste into. It takes a few seconds longer than a tool that assumes, and it gives an answer that is actually about your calendar.

The two modes count the starting day differently, and that is not an inconsistency. When you ask how many working days lie between two dates you are measuring a period, so both ends belong in it: a Monday to the following Friday is ten working days. When you ask what date is ten working days away, you mean ten days from now, not counting today, which is what a bank means when it quotes you a clearing time. Both rules are stated in the working under the answer so there is nothing to guess at.

Under the answer is a table of every day that did not count, with a reason for each one. That table exists because of a specific error people make when they count by hand or write a spreadsheet formula: subtracting the weekends, then subtracting the holidays, and taking a holiday that fell on a Sunday out twice. This page removes each day once, and when a holiday lands on a day that was already off it says so rather than letting the number quietly drift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything worth knowing before you trust the answer.

No. In the Add working days mode the day you start on is never counted, so counting begins the following day. That is what a bank, a courier or a government office means when they quote ten working days. In the Days between mode both dates are included, because there you are measuring the length of a period rather than counting forward from one.

In 2026 there are 261 weekdays if you take Saturday and Sunday off and apply no public holidays. Once your local holidays are taken out it is usually somewhere between 249 and 255. Paste your own holiday list in and this page will give the figure for your calendar rather than a general one.

Because a wrong list is worse than no list. Holidays differ by country and often by region within a country, several move each year, and some are announced only a few weeks ahead. A built in list looks authoritative and quietly goes stale, which produces confident wrong answers. Yours takes ten seconds to paste in and is correct.

Untick them and tick whichever days you are closed. Much of the Middle East works Sunday to Thursday, Nepal takes only Saturday, and some operations run all seven days. Leave everything unticked and every day counts as a working day.

It is removed once, not twice. The day was already not a working day, so taking it out again would shorten the count. The table under the answer marks those days as a day off anyway, and also on your holiday list, so you can see it happened.

Yes. In the Add working days mode, switch the direction to Backwards. This is the usual way to find the last date you can post something so that it arrives in time.

No. A day either counts as a working day or it does not, so a Saturday that is a half day cannot be expressed here. If you need to add up actual hours worked, the hours calculator on this site is designed for that.

No. Everything runs in your browser and there is no server behind it. A saved setup keeps the list in this browser only, and clearing it from the Settings tab removes it for good.
